The Workin' Stiffs

The Workin' Stiffs are an Oi!/Street Punk band from San Francisco, California. This kickass band started sometime in 1995 out in sunny California. The band consists of Dave on vocals, Mike on guitar and vox, Kevin on bass and vox, and Eric beating the skins. They play very traditional Oi! music and are heavily influenced by all those British bands you know and love such as Sham 69, Cock Sparrer... Now there are a lot of bands that say they're influenced by the early British Oi!, but the Workin' Stiffs sound, musically, like their from the early '80s. There are lots of bands reuniting to take advantage of the resurgence of Oi! and street punk, often for the wrong reasons - which makes it so much more refreshing to see certain bands doing it for the right ones. While life has taken these five friends in different directions since the days of weekly gigs and nights out in the city by the bay, their music has kept their friendships strong. Reuniting regularly to practice the oldies until the voices give out (or someone is too drunk to stand up) has in this case, led to bigger goals for these guys. Writing and recording five new tracks has The Workin' Stiffs fueled back up and ready to offer up something new to the scene. The new recordings are filled with the same energy, grit, and booze-soaked-aggro that the stiffs were always treasured for.
